Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
